On 19 January, a British Airways Airbus A350-1000 (G-XWBD) operated flight BA163 between London Heathrow, United Kingdom and Tel Aviv, Israel.

During landing at Tel Aviv, however, the aircraft suffered a hard landing. A passenger reported that the ceiling panels in the rear galley came down. Avherald.com writes that hard landing checks revealed damage to the aircraft. Maintenance traveled to Tel Aviv to assess the aircraft, the damage was assessed minor.

On 21 January, the aircraft was ferried back to London to operate a London Heathrow – Tel Aviv – London Heathrow on 22 January.

Only a few months ago, the aircraft was damaged during a paint shop mishap.

I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
